With a population of over 806,000, Cúcuta is a bustling Colombian city on the Venezuelan border. The tax burden is heavy and bureaucracy is a persistent headache. The tropical climate features sweltering heat and frequent heavy rain. Despite its historical significance and scenic parks, Cúcuta is not for the faint of heart - it's a gritty, hardscrabble place better suited to adventurous expats than those seeking a quiet retirement.
